Topic

How to do IoT machine learning at the edge using open-source

Abstract

In this session, we will explore the significant advantages of doing IoT machine learning and AI processing at the edge. This is known as "fog computing" in the IoT industry. We will walk through an example of how to package the machine learning engine and distribute it to edge processing hardware. The end result will be a live demonstration of a machine learning system running in the room, all built with open source technologies that can scale.
